Showbiz Stars That Were Athletes First

2 Chainz

Boosting a height of 6’5″, it was almost indisputable that the rapper would end up on the basketball court. 2 Chainz, born Tauheed Epps, used his height and basketball prowess to land a sporting scholarship at Alabama State University. The rapper went on to play an entire basketball season for Alabama State before deciding to concentrate on his music. He enjoyed worldwide attention when his distinct voice attracted producers from The Dave Chappelle Show. Although he may have gotten his break in his thirties, 2 Chainz is still considered a rap legend by most people.
